Despite his previous claims that ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are “poisonous," Robert F. Kennedy Jr. won’t take any additional measures to remove such foods from the market.
Kennedy, the former independent presidential candidate who is slated to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), said during his Jan. 29 appearance before the Senate Committee on Finance that he’s not looking to ban UPFs. Instead, he’s committed to providing more information about the harms of consuming UPFs and food additives.
